Lawsuits are a viable business strategy and even settlements don’t necessarily indicate wrongdoing (in that area), but rather either not wanting to drag it out in﻿ court of public opinion or that the discovery phase of the legal process (having to turn over documents) can reveal even more dirty laundry on other aspect’s of a company business. (MSFT punishing manufacturers in 90s that provided competitors’ operating systems for instance.) That said, MSFT was really evil back in the day.
